Description
A Boat Day offers private, customized boat charters for small groups of up to 10 passengers. Sit back and relax on the very comfortable, 27 foot double-decker Funship with a slide, as you cruise the waterways with a Captain as your guide. Your boating adventure will get you up close to wild dolphins and take you to secluded barrier islands so you can go shelling on pristine beaches or swim in the Gulf of Mexico. Our private boat tours are perfect for family outings, birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, bachelorette parties, marriage proposals, romantic getaways, reunions, spreading ashes, or any other reason!
Tour Options
Itinerary
Your BOAT DAY starts with a safety briefing, then it's time to cast off! Your trip will typically take you north of Clearwater Beach to our beautiful barrier islands including Caladesi Island, Honeymoon Island and Three Rooker Sand Bar. Along the way it is very likely that we will see dolphins. We may also see manatees, sea turtles, rays, Ospreys, native birds or other local wildlife. As your BOAT DAY continues, it is common for guests to get off the boat and go swimming and snorkeling, or shelling and exploring on our beautiful islands. Afternoon and evening tours can include watching the sun set from the boat, over the Gulf of Mexico. All guests will enjoy a cooler with complimentary bottled water, Big Joe water floats and mesh shell bags.
Caladesi Island State Park
One of the few untouched islands along the Gulf Coast, Caladesi Island State Park is accessible only by boat, but is worth the extra effort.
Honeymoon Island State Park
One of Florida’s best-loved state parks, Honeymoon Island has more than four miles of beach to explore along with a three-mile trail through one of the last remaining virgin slash pine forests.
Three-Rooker Baris a small, semicircular island that has emerged within the last decade. The fact that sand has been accumulating at this location while erosion has occurred at other locations demonstrates the complexity of the coastal processes at work on the West-Central Florida coast. As the island emerged, it quickly became vegetated, increasing its stability.
Clearwater Beach
Laid-back Clearwater Beach is known for its namesake stretch of soft, white sand, which draws visitors year-round for jet-skiing, parasailing, and stand-up paddle boarding in its calm waters.

Best boat day due to the best captain- THANK YOU CAPTAIN ED
Had the most amazing time with my girl friends for my bachelorette. So thankful for captain Ed, he made our trip a breeze by directing us where we could pack, helping us carry our cooler, offering to take our photos for us, and showing us how to look for sand dollar. Captain Ed was the best part of our boating experience.

Boat day for the Bach trip
We had an awesome time! Our boat guide picked us up from our house on the water, took us to see dolphins and we were able to catch multiple jumping out of the water behind our boat, it was awesome! He then took us to two islands which were beautiful and we found lots of seashells and sand dollars. We all had a really great time and highly recommend this company.
